Mar. 132019

LEWISTON — Androscoggin Home Healthcare and Hospice will present a free two-part educational series on health care decision making in April.
Partners in the series are SeniorsPlus and St. Mary’s Health System.

The first session, “What Matters Most,” is 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday April 16, and will explore your worries and wishes in relation to health care decision making. It includes games like “go wish cards,” a film, music and conversation to explore what matters most and provide Maine Health Care Advance Directive Forms to help with the next steps in advance care planning.
The second session, “Next Steps: Making Your Wishes Known,” is 2 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, and will focus on making sure health care wishes are honored. It will show how to document wishes in advance directives, and will begin with a speaker presentation sharing stories of why it is important to prepare ahead, no matter your age. Then, an advance directive clinic will help those attending complete the Maine Health Care Advance Directive Form.
The sessions are free, but seating is limited. Sessions take place at SeniorsPlus, 8 Falcon Road.
